Had a '03 F250 SD, 6.0 PSD, CC,4x4,sb. Added: 50 Transferflow replacement tank, Banks Monster Exhaust and had the FICM repaired and beefed up some. Ordered it w/ the 3.73, camper & tow pkg. Towed a '06 Cedar Creek Silverback 33 LBHTS. Dry wt of 5er was 10,800, max wt of 5er was 13,800. Ran pretty much at 13,000 for 5er wt. Truck did a very good job in towing and stopping the rig. Ave 10.5 mpg's at 70 mph towing w/ A/C on. 2,000 rpm's was peak torque for the motor and that equated to 70 mph, so that's where I ran it. Believe peak HP is 3200 rpm's. Really liked the truck, but she started to cost $$ w/ box rust/replacement, manifold's cracked. So rather than put a lot of $$$ into a vehicle that was 12+ years old and costs of said items would be close to vehicles worth, traded it in for new ride. Kinda miss the "rattle" of that 'ol gal's motor.
